So I think this current roster will be the roster for Spring Training. They may sign another relief pitcher but I don't foresee another huge signing. Papelbon was it. Is this team good enough to get back to the World Series?

I'm new to this SparkPeople site, but I definitely wanted to leave comment regarding the phightins kicking off the new season next week. I've been anxiously awaiting the return of Cliff Lee and R2C2 and its now just around the corner. Best of luck to the Phillies and all my new teammates in weight-loss this season. I know I'm the newbie here, but don't haze me bro!

I work at Citizens Bank Park so there is a good chance we'll rub elbows at the stadium this summer. To anyone attending the Season Opener, I'll see you there :)

First Spring Training game today!! WOOHOO! Wish I could listen to it here at work, but the website is one of those "taboo" ones. Oh well...that's what I've got my MLB.TV for. I can go back and watch it WHENEVER I WANT!! I just wish Harry was still alive. That's actually the reason I first bought it, but he passed away the day after I bought it! My cousin from Philly who goes to school at Pitt likes to use my account to watch the Phillies games, too, so I'm not going to give it up!

I can do this, with God's help!!!

With God, ALL things are possible!!

Oh, THAT would be PERFECT!! It would give us something to focus on in the days leading up to Opening Day! I start to get antsy this time of year!

One of these years I'm going to take a trip down to Clearwater. My Uncle Joe went down there when Schmitty was still playing and had a GREAT time! I did a road trip with the Phils in September of 1998 to Cincinnati. I met a friend of mine from New Jersey (I live in Kansas) there and we stayed in the team hotel for a series....what a BLAST!! Hotel was a bit steep, though. Glad I was splitting the cost!

My Uncle Stan keeps telling me I need to get back there to Philadelphia to see some games with him again. The last game I saw was in 2008 and he and I did something we'd never done before...it was a HOT July afternoon and we were down 9-3 to the Braves. Cole had pitched horribly so we decided to LEAVE EARLY! We hadn't gotten out of Center City yet (on our way back to Narberth) and the Phillies were up 10-9! My uncle hasn't stopped apologizing and that was almost 3 years ago! Yes, I'm definitely WAY overdue for a visit to Citizens Bank Park! Wish they'd play the Royals out here in Kansas City again one of these years!!
